Unboxing - AKG K 242 HD Headphones

This is a stray from my usual cover videos but I just received AKG headphones and decided to do an unboxing of them as nobody else has unboxed these headphones. Long story short, so far they are great. I look forward to recording with them and just casually listening to music with them. Thanks for watching!

Also for those watching and noticing the blurb about "Discreet Apparel", the fan page on Facebook and the Twitter page can be accessed here -

witch 1 is better this 1 or beats by dr. dre

[Krauser1226]

@totoalnono I've used Beats by Dre less extensively than I've used these. But these are definitely better. That said, music is more about preference and the Beats have more bass but lack clarity in the mids and highs. The 242's are extremely balanced and sound amazing throughout the entire sound spectrum. Definitely the better headphones considering they're the same price as the beats. Unless of course you value bass. For me though, the clear winner is the AKG's. They're better built too.

@totoalnono I did forgot to mention though, the AKG's will need some form of amplification if you plan to use them with a small mp3 player like an iPod. The Beats won't cause they use 2 AA batteries if I'm not mistaken. The Beats are much more suited to walking around use than the AKG's which are much larger.

Hi Krauster1226.. I'm Serena, from Italy and I'd like to ask you some information about the fiio e5. I have a pair of AKG k242hd, just as yours and I'd also be intetested in buying a fiio e5 or the new e7. Have you tried the e5 with the akg headphones? Does it work? Can you hear a real improvement in sound? thank you and sorry for my bad English.

[Krauser1226]

@serenabilotta yeah I use the E5 with my AKG's and it really lets the bass stand out on devices without ample power ranges to support the impedance of the AKG's. It's a worthwhile purchase and I really recommend it if you plan on using the 242's with something like an iPod or smaller MP3 player. Even laptops and anything without enough power benefit. At 20 bucks or so, it's definitely a great purchase.

awesome girl friend

I bought K242 and that was a mistake. They sound like crap. And problem is that small velour pad space for ear with plastic on the inside. With K530 velour pads it's far better but still K530Ltd are better sounding headphones.

Your girlfriend is awesome! My girlfriend doesn't even support my headphone hobby and rather buy me video games like every other girlfriend does... -.-'
